Aluminium isn't the most resilient of metals, it fatigues faster than steel. At least when aluminium vessels blow they tend to tear apart rather than kaboom like steel

Don't forget these are 3000psi cylinders, regular 250bar fills are pretty much a 25% overpressure. Reinhard Buchaly told me he retires all his 80's after 4 years of overfilling because they won't all pass the hydros...
